Testo The Long Surrender

It's a light when it finds you in the bottom of a ship going down
It's the blood on the Bible and the memories chasing you down
It's the kindness of strangers and the patience of love while you heal
It's giving in slowly to the long-winding loss of your will

It's the long surrender
On our knees where Heaven gets found
We will wait with the lost and weary While You turn the weight of our sorrows into a crown

It's the new of the morning when your city is burned to the ground
It's the knowing that everything rises from the hem of Your gown
In the weakness of man, there lies a power so fine
No weapon can break it, no circumstance will change our mind

It's the long surrender
On our knees where Heaven gets found
We will wait with the lost and weary
While You turn the weight of our sorrows into a crown

Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
It's the long surrender
On our knees where Heaven gets found
We will wait with the lost and weary
While You turn the weight of our sorrows into a crown

While You turn the weight of our sorrows into a crown
